There are a lot of things that have actually flaws, even other alternative investment also involves flaws cause there's no such thing as pros without cons. Bitcoin's volatility is one of the reasons why it's not yet used as an everyday currency cause you wouldn't want to sell something valuable when Bitcoin's value is low. We were just taking advantage of its volatility by simply buying at low and then selling at its highest price. But yeah from the investor's perspective, it might not be considered a flaw since that is the reason for our profits cause volatility is actually normal.

We can't really blame Bitcoin for illegal things it has been involved in, it's just a simple tool in which you have the freedom to control your funds as well as have transactions globally by the use of digital currency which is Bitcoin. Due to its decentralization, most of the people are free to make use of it even for bad deeds. But these kind of issues we can still compare these to other things such as fiat which is also involved in this kind of thing, so there's no need to hate Bitcoin's "flaw" which is literally normal.

I think $150 is already huge to start trading as your capital, It is also good to start with that amount of money so you can gather experiences as well, cause imagine this you can't even make profits from your $150 so what would happen if you are trading with larger amounts right. It's not only about the capital as well, these days you could already call anyone who's investing in this industry short-term as a trader, but without sufficient knowledge and skills, it would be just a waste of money. But you are right, it's much better if you have extra funds when you are trading so if you learn from a current mistake, you can make a comeback. If you already know that you can't really profit from short-term investment or trading, just go to long-term and you can start with the DCA method.

Well, the phrase "invest what you can afford to lose" would actually be applicable to people who are just starting to invest and as well to people who are not that financially stable as they need money to provide their essential needs, so they are not that ready to risk the funds they have cause it would go to straight to their needs. As they gather more experience in the crypto industry, they would also adapt that investing is much better than saving your money in banks, especially the spare amounts of money. That's the time the phrase "invest what you have" cause for the long time Bitcoin has existed, it doesn't really disappoint as it gives people a source of money and also avoids inflation. Because investment really involves risk, if you don't overcome the thought of losing money, then for sure you would stay in the phase of the average investor in this industry. IF you want to play safe long-term investment would be the best option until it reaches your target selling price.

First of all, congratulations on your wedding OP, I'm happy for you that you've bet on investing in Bitcoin and managed to profit. $870 is actually already huge for me, so I really respect your investment journey cause it's really inspiring. This actually shows how good investment is in Bitcoin if you put patience with knowledge. Not only that you could avoid inflation affecting your funds but also provide enough money from your profits in the volatility of Bitcoin. I'm also surprised that $1200-$1400 can already provide all your needs for a wedding cause here in my country that won't be enough unless you get married at a civil wedding which is budget-friendly. But if we compare it to a wedding like yours OP, it would cost almost $80k-$100k cause everything is pricey here, and you have managed to have a party celebration as well. That's actually a good spend of Bitcoin profits, for sure everyone here is investing to have money to provide their needs and wants.

I think that's normal to be choosy when it comes to jobs because some companies give their employees lowballs or low salaries as they are not yet aware of that in the working industry, you can manage that once you get interviewed. Of course, if you are freshly graduated you need to gather experience first in the working industry, so desiring a highly paying job at your first job wouldn't sound good. Diplomas and degrees just show that you have studied for years for a certain course that is related to some job so if you applied for some company they would be aware of the knowledge you have so they would hire you. But yeah, once you are getting well paid, having alternate money sources by simply building a small business could get you to attain the financial freedom you are trying to achieve. For sure you wouldn't like to work your ass off for a very long time, much better to retire early to spend time with your family.

You can literally see a lot of things that are pricey and similar to the bare minimum wage salary of an average person. The thing is if we compare the person who buys expensive perfumes to people who's worth their salary to the perfume, for sure they can afford it as they might have investments and savings because if they would rely on their salary as well, they might not buy luxurious products just to look good. That's how powerful financial freedom is, that's why it is much better to be disciplined and focused on investment and savings first because you will be the one who's gonna benefit in the end. If your salary is not enough for investment cause you would need to provide all your needs, I think alternate money sources would do good, as long as its legal cause we wouldn't tolerate illegal activities.

That is actually a good business idea as you focus on the demand for the product in your country, as I observed, it seems like you don't want to share it in your local board due to some people might take this idea and you would have a competition with others. In business having competitors could be beneficial for you as well, as long as you make quality and have a trademark where most people would prefer the product you make. Imagine you are the first one to make this and people would acknowledge you as the OG groundnut oil maker.

Building a business might sound easy from our plan and thinking, you would also need to consider the manpower, equipment, and the source of groundnut. Plus the fact that you need to be checked for quality control and the safeness of your business if it same to be consumed and the cleanliness of the environment and the permits. I think it would be better if you share this with your local board for your fellow citizen to have discussion as they might help you with your plan as well, cause I think its not applicable to some of the countries as they have enough supplies from the product that you are proposing, but it's actually a good business plan.

Its still never be okay to stole your family's land just for your own decision. We know that investing in Bitcoin is good as it could secure your future, but the fact that your family already have a land then risk it to Bitcoin which requires a lot of time to reach it's highest peak just for you to buy a land again. Remember that selling in the current time would be cheaper, and in the long time when you buy a land or property it would be expensive cause its value is also increasing due to demand of properties. We already know the differences of investing to real estate and to Bitcoin, which in the other hand it involves volatility. I guess you really need huge capital into real estate to make it to investment and give passive income like rental. Good luck to OP, hope he can ROI in just short of time so his/her relationship with the family would be okay.

I think there's none since its your own money that you would have to use to promote Bitcoin, so raising funds to promote Bitcoin doesn't sound convincing to other as they know that Bitcoin is already popular coin and widely spread. By being known independently, we could observe that Bitcoin has been already promoted lowkey by just simply mentioning the name "Bitcoin" as some would be curious. For example from movies, sometimes in the movie Bitcoin could be mentioned from doing illegal transactions (so far from movies I have watched) and some would explain it like from the Euphoria the series.

From that, it could already gather audience to be aware and acknowledge Bitcoin. Plus, in the internet you could already do a lot of things by just simply doing a video regarding Bitcoin, memes which is popular nowadays, and etc. And also you can spread the word individually like from your friends, which is very common way of promoting even from the past, which is orally passing information to everyone. Cause they would pass the information from one person to another.

I exactly felt the same way, selling your family's land could might be a selfish thing to do as you decided to sell if without their willingly to sell it, plus the fact the Bitcoin investment is consider a huge risk to enter as well, so there's no guarantee it could pay back or it might take a long time before you reach your target price with Bitcoin. It's normal for your family to be mad, cause imagine all the sacrifices they have made just to own a property land because nowadays every land are now pricey and expensive as the time goes by. I think it would side with OP, if the case is he's all alone taking this kind of decision, but when it comes to family land, you would need to communicate each other and take everyone's approval, cause for sure every rejection have a reason that's why y'all need to be opened with each other.

Wala namang mawawala at hindi masama kung gagamit ka ng tarot cards para matulungan ka mag decide sa pag invest mo sa market eh, pero syempre alam mo sa sarili mo na walang kasiguraduhan sa hula, from the word itself na 'hula". Kasi nga yung iba nga gumagamit ng AI generated na mga prediction tsaka information para sa mga calls nila eh pero syemper di talaga accurate results niyan, AI na yan ha, yung madalas ginagamit sa mga sources. Pero sa impormasyon ni OP, pansin ko lang parang tarot cards ata from digital ginamit, which is parang nakaprogrammed lang siya tama ba? So possible na parang AI generated lang din yan kung ganyan, para ka lang nag flip the coin para mag decide. Kasi ang paniniwala ko sa hula sa hindi digital, parang may kasama na yang mga dasal, instict, pakiramdam at etc. na di magagaya ng hula from digital. Pero mas mainam parin talaga mag based on facts sa mga calls niyo sa market.

Actually this can still be applied to banks (of course fake ones) except for the volatility. Since we were in the era of the internet and technology, some banks are open to digital banks where you can save and invest at home which is prone from hacking and scamming. Even a simple text from your phone where there's a link that once you click, it could gather all the data from your phone which can drained up your funds. Also I have seen some cases where fake banks are scamming uneducated people to financial and senior citizen by encouraging them to use their banks, but shortly they would just run with bags of money from the people. But yeah, crypto is much riskier since its decentralized, all of your moves and decisions might affect your funds unlike to centralized system wheren they can secure your funds safety.

If you are committing to a relationship especially if the two partners are married, most likely you would have to adjust for both parties likes and dislikes, some would take time to know each other first by livign in the same roof, but if you love each other some would literally go straight to marriage. The day you married someone is the day you'll to change your bad habits that can impact to your partner or family, not only that the finances might affect from your gambling habits, imagine losing too much money in gambling and then when you got home you can't even control your emotions and starting acting cold, rude verbal words, violence and etc. I think if you can't even quit gambling for your wife or family, then I think you are not still ready to be committed in building a family because that's not a good example for your kids soon, if we compare it to alcohol addiction to gambling addiction it's like similar cause its still addiction. If opening up doesn't work at home, try to seek help in therapy.

A gambler doesn't like advices from someone who doesn't even gambling cause they doesn't understand to stop the urge of gambling. Even from their love ones like their family, no matter how hard they try to convince them, they doesn't stop at all and would even say, "this is my life, and I have freedom to do gambling" things like that which is actually true, but we know that gambling doesn't even have a good impact to someone's health and as well their financial status. And I think we don't need to over hated someone who do gambling, sometimes they use it as their source of distraction and to relieve stress, which we know it's not good financially but due to it's fun, it can lessen stress. They just need to seek help especially to professional one like therapist.

That's the common thing why people explore into this industry right, is to make profit or to make money. Which I think it could be bad cause you are counting profits and losses than learning from your past mistakes. If you are teaching someone into this industry you would really need not to be biased as you introduced Bitcoin with its pros and cons so they would be aware. That way they would know to themselves that its their responsibility that they choose to to take the path you are taking, which is involved risk, this way it could really prevent of bad relationship. You could teach the basics, we have demo account right? But never told and spoonfed them as they will rely all the things to you. And for sure once you have a bad call the blame would be pointing at you which is pretty toxic.

Well you are actually right, i also like the quote of "do your own research" because it's up to you and its your responsible for every decision you make, plus the fact that you could search everything in the internet nowadays. But we can't totally trust the internet nowadays now that Bitcoin existence for a long time, for sure there's a lot of false information, scams, hackers and etc. That you would have to face, even cents bad people won't hesitate to steal it from you. It's normal to feel scared in something you lack knowledge with, especially when it's money involved that we were talking about. They just need to find a reliable sources that they can trust or use, for example here in the forum, you could search existing thread from years that can still help these days. Still they need to do this on their own and experience it on their own, because it's up to their calls wether they profit or not.

Exactly, imagine the concept of AI from the movies like Iron Man which is from years ago, and how it tooks years to make something like Siri and Alexa which can assist you as well give you information. These are programmed to help people and give convenience to people, it only could be harmful if they programmed it like a villain to be harmful like leaking of private data, hacking and etc. But AI itself couldn't be independent on its own without the human, imagine if they get low battery who will charge them in the end? It's just simply on and off people are not that dumb for AI to take over the world. But it's really a threat to eliminating some jobs causing some people to lose their jobs like from what I have seen in some fast food, where robots are the one serving food.

That's why we literally need to think of our future since everything is not permanent like for your source of income. It's good that you are managing your finances now cause your learned from your mistake, your own experience would help you to grow and be matured enough to handle things like financially by limiting yourself from your own desire and focus on investing for your future. Just take your time, some people took so long to recover from their losses as they trying to recover and finding a good start. There's actually nothing wrong with fulfilling your wants and desires which motivates us in life, just limit your money and always have emergency fund as well investment money, you can do DCA method cause you won't need to start with super huge capital.

That is the downside of investing in altcoins or shtcoins if you don't have any idea about the background of the coin and the team before investing on it. There's actually some good altcoins that we know and it's actually good to invest as well, but they can't never be better with Bitcoin. There's actually nothing wrong with investing with altcoins as long as you know the coin, and also by just simply doing 70/30. 70 for the Bitcoin and 30 for the altcoins, that way you can still accumulate Bitcoin while risking some of your money.

It's literally impossible to guess something that 12 or 24 seed phrase that has actually different words and auto generated that anyone couldn't think about. Even they spent years, decades or until the person live to guess I think its impossible where the risk is at 0.0001 that most replied said. But in hacking and tracing someone's data that's the way they can access someone's personal account but guessing would literally impossible, maybe if you made your own seed phrase but there's nothing thing like that when it comes to seedphrase to ensure our security and safety.
